i08 C2VSimFG Stream Nodes

The stream network simulated in C2VSimFG consists of 4,634 stream nodes that make up 110 stream reaches. The stream nodes correspond to groundwater node locations where simulated streams exist. Each stream node is used to define physical properties of the stream including, depth-flow rating tables, stream bottom elevations, streambed thickness, streambed conductance, and wetted perimeter. Stream nodes are also where calculations are performed during a simulation, where diversions, stream inflows, and bypasses can occur within the model. C2VSimFG simulates streamflow of the key components of the river system, including the upstream inflows, diversions, return flows, bypasses, and stream-aquifer interaction at every stream node to generate the water budgets.
